They say it's your birthday dadadadadum.......

Yep! I am a year older, stronger, brighter, wiser and most of all more FABULOUS than ever. Today marks my last official number birthday. My mom stopped counting at 29 and I have decided that 32 will be the number for me.

The kids were so sweet today. They marched in and sang to me while I was still in bed. My oldest 2 gave their own renditions of the Happy Birthday song. Nalah's was more R&B Neosoul while Amari completely rocked out pretending that he was playing the electric guitar. I do fear that I may have a teenage son who is a rocker with a band that practices in my garage or basement someday. Amari's musical taste is very diverse but at the end of the day he loves good old fashion rock n roll and 70's funk. Our rides to school used to be very comical b/c Amari was the only kid in pre-school and kindergarten that knew all the works to Earth Wind and Fire and Heatwave's songs (2 of Chaka and my favorite groups). He is truly my special 70's groovin' prince.

Anywho. Today was pretty low key. I pretty much rolled solo with Z-man as my side kick. Chaka and I were going to meet for lunch but Z-man fell asleep and I just did not feel like waking a peacefully sleeping baby just to take him out in the 30 degree cold (with snow on the ground) for a very quick lunch date. Instead I snuggled up with a blanket and read all morning while I did laundry (man, that statement alone sounded like I am ready for my AARP card).
Chaka and Amari did take me to dinner while Nalah was at gymnastics practice and then we all came home for a quick mini b-day party. I lucked out with a much needed gift certificate to the spa from them all.

I can honestly say that I don't feel any different today than I did yesterday. I do truly hope to find peace and serenity in this next year of life. Last year I wished for patience and I think I may be half way there. What can I say, I am a work in progress. One thing that I know for sure is that I will no longer dwell on the past. Instead I am going to celebrate my successes and live in the moment.

Until next time, Peace.

Oh, my posting will continue to be sporadic until Feb. 1st. There is a lot going on and I simply have not had too much to say, so bare with me. There will be more Harmony news to come in February.

I am out.
